Oscar, BAFTA and Golden Globe winning actress Dame Judi Dench is the new Patron 
of the Talking Newspaper Association of the United Kingdom.

The East Sussex-based Association operates National Talking Newspapers and Magazines(
TNAUK), which provides more than 250 newspapers and magazines on subscription to
blind and partially sighted people throughout the UK and beyond, through the use
of audio CD, tape and digital services.

In addition, it recently introduced the DAISY service which uses compressed digital
audio enabling up to forty hours of audio content on a single CD, making it easier
to navigate between subjects, publications and articles.

 

 

Dame Judi said: “The Talking Newspaper Association is providing a really worthwhile
service, and I hope that I can help them with their fundraising and increase awareness
of this vital service”.
